According to a report at EW's Ausiello Files, Wahlberg has booked a two-episode arc on the show as Sgt. Joey Grant, Rizzoli's boss who also happens to be her childhood friend. "Their relationship is equal parts attraction and loathing," a TNT source told Ausiello.

The series, which also stars Lorraine Bracco as Harmon's mother, is set to premiere in July.
